This has an implausible somewhat offensive premise, and yet it does mostly work.  While Janet is away at a florists' convention in Santa Barbara, Terri's friend Catherine makes a surprise visit.  Jack flirts with her, until he finds out she's a nun.  He still shows her around town, like to Disneyland, while Terri is busy at work.  Through Just a Misunderstanding (tm), Jack thinks she wants to stop being a nun so that she can marry him.  Thanks to Larry, Jack decides to convince her he's an alcoholic.  (Never mind that if she really loved him, this probably wouldn't discourage her.)  Mr. Furley finds Jack's note (with some nice physical comedy) and then leads Janet down to a dive bar.  Jack tells Catherine that Janet is Crazy Annie the drunk.  And then Catherine's father the policeman shows up.  Terri is understandably confused in the tag.  Note that the DVD lists both episode titles, but it's just "Oh, Nun" on IMDB.

Britt Leach makes his middle of three Three's Company appearances, this time as Chuck the Barkeeper.  (He'd be a different barkeeper later.)
